Players step into the shoes of Thomas H. Bennett, a seasoned homicide detective on the brink of retirement, who is drawn into one last unsettling investigation. The case revolves around the mysterious death of business magnate Arthur Blackthorn and the sudden disappearance of his daughter Emily, all unfolding within the seemingly ordinary, yet increasingly eerie, offices of Blackthorn & Co Insurances.
